Nosh Continues Rapid Expansion…Opens Eighth Store

Hot on the
heels of opening in Mt Maunganui, Nosh Food Market opens its
eighth store on Constellation Drive in Auckland’s North
Shore this coming Tuesday (13 Nov).

Nosh co-founder and
director Clinton Beuvink says there has been plenty of
demand from North Shore shoppers for a Nosh store.

“We
have had a lot of feedback from ‘the shore’ asking when
we’d be opening a branch there so we’re delighted to
have Constellation Drive ready in time for the busy summer
season.”

He says New Zealanders are sophisticated
consumers who are now demanding a better quality of food
retailing which is fuelling demand for greater
competition.

“It strengthens the category and consumers
are the winners – they have more choice on where they can
shop and are no longer dictated to by the big supermarkets.
We are giving consumers what they want and more.”

The
store stocks a range of global brand names such as Waitrose
and also includes a Black Rock Butchery (winner of the Ham
of the Year 2012) on site bakery, fruit and vegetables
seafood and much more.

Constellation Drive is Nosh’s
second franchise store, jointly owned with Jo and Simon
Jamieson who have a background in food and retail businesses
including a café and catering outlet, video stores and a
telecoms franchise.

The Jamiesons contacted Nosh after
reading in the media that the company was interested in
pursuing a growth strategy involving the owner-operator
model and say they’re “stoked” with the Constellation
Drive location.

“It’s smack bang in the middle of a
large residential and commercial catchment area and very
close to the motorway. Plus we’re bringing up to 40 new
jobs to the area – it just has a good community feel about
it,” Mr Jamieson says.

Nosh will extend its VIP member
scheme to the new store. A Nosh VIP-only morning on Tuesday
features special deals, food tastings and demonstrations by
My Kitchen Rules stars Simon and Meg. The store is
open to the general public from midday.

Customers who
spend $75 or more on opening day receive an exclusive free
goody bag (while stocks last).
